Why Kents Bank is the perfect location for your forever home

Situated beautifully on the Cartmel Peninsula in South Cumbria, right on the edge of Morecambe Bay, Kents Bank in Cumbria offers everything you need to enjoy life entirely at your own pace.  

If you’re looking to downsize and reduce your maintenance responsibilities, but keep all your independence, Kents Bank is the perfect location to enjoy a well-deserved, more relaxed way of living.  

Enjoy gentle coastal living  

Kents Bank is a quiet, coastal village that sits within the Grange-over-Sands area. A short, easy walk from our houses for sale in Kents Bank, and you’ll find a completely flat path stretching a mile, taking you into the centre of Grange-over-Sands. This regular route provides a great opportunity to take in the fresh sea air, bump into your neighbours and wander through the Ornamental Gardens, where ducks and waterfowl gather on the pond.  

If you like to stay active and social, Kents Bank has a well-kept putting green, and bowling clubs that are always welcoming new members, and tennis courts which overlook the water. 

A mild climate and panoramic views  

Kents Bank benefits from a mild microclimate, sheltered from the harsher northern winds by the limestone hills rising behind the village. This gentler weather makes it much easier to get outside and enjoy the fresh air all year round.  

And with the weather on your side, you’ll find plenty of lovely spots to explore within the local area. You can choose between the wide, level paths along the sea wall or take a steady trip up Hampsfell, which has some of the best views in South Lakeland. Best of all, these local trails are dotted with well-timed benches along the way, so you can sit and admire the views over the bay for as long as you’d like. 

Exceptional dining and culture nearby  

For the days when you want to treat the family to a memorable meal, the village of Cartmel is less than ten minutes away. Here you’ll discover the 12th-century Cartmel Priory and Cartmel Racecourse, which hosts nine exciting race days each year, starting on the Whitsun Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.  

On Allithwaite Road, The Pheasant Inn serves up traditional pub food by a cosy open fire, making it a great spot for a proper Sunday roast or a quiet evening drink. For a sweet treat, the award-winning Hazelmere Cafe & Bakery in Grange-over-Sands could become your local favourite, giving you a choice of over 40 loose-leaf teas and fresh, locally sourced Cumbrian ingredients.  

The beauty of the Lake District  

If you love the outdoors but want to avoid the worst of the tourist traffic, Kents Bank sits right on the quieter southern edge of the Lake District National Park. Famous spots like Lake Windermere and the flat lawns of Fell Foot Park, which offer an accessible place for a walk, are just a short drive away. 

Living here places a range of Cumbrian destinations within easy reach. You can also take afternoon boat trips across Windermere, walk through ancient shoreline woodlands, or spend the day visiting Kendal and Ambleside.  

Effortless travel and easy connections  

Family, friends and grandchildren can visit with ease when you choose one of our new homes in Kents Bank. In fact, you’ll have the benefit of Kents Bank Railway Station, which first opened in 1857, a short walk away from our Kents Bank development.  

From the platforms, you can leave the car at home and catch direct, scenic trains along the coast to Lancaster, Preston, and straight into Manchester Airport when you’re looking to travel abroad. If you prefer to drive, the main A590 road connects you to the M6 in under twenty minutes, so it’s simple to head off on trips or welcome loved ones to your front door.
